LEARNING AND TEACHING METHODS
The delivery of this subject is based on lectures which are fully integrated with weekly workshops and a series of assignments allocated throughout the semester. Problem-based learning is a key feature aiming to enrich students’ appreciation of the subject contents and their engineering relevance and practical applications. A hands-on exercise is conducted in a laboratory environment to quantify various constituents of soil and classify them with hydrological and engineering implications. The subject also allows students to develop their teamwork skills by collaborating on group assignments.Please note, Semester 1 lectures will be delivered online, which incorporate a series of multiple-choice questions to aid in learning the material. A one-hour (optional) consultation tutorial will be provided each week to give students an opportunity to ask questions regarding the online learning material.
